Zayn Malik Got a Face Tattoo

Spotting new celebrity ink is always fun but trying to get a glimpse of the tattoo in detail can still be quite the challenge. It looks like Zayn Malik has gotten a new face tattoo and, well, let's just say it’s still pretty hard to tell what it is. 

Over the weekend, Zayn posted an Instagram selfie that (hardly) showed off his tattoo, which follows his jawline. Seeing as the new ink is all healed and with facial hair grown over it, one might imagine that a selfie would give fans a head-on look at the tattoo, but it is actually just barely visible to the naked eye.

The fact that Zayn now sports a new face tat is clear as day but, when it comes to the details, we can’t see them at all. However, that's not stopping fans from trying to figure out the message behind the ink. Fans on Twitter are doing the most trying to nail down what the tattoo says. The ztans have hypothesized anything under the sun, from phrases in Latin or French, the words “Do More,” and possibly even “Deez Nuts.” (Jokingly, of course.)

For now, we only know for sure that the piece is some sort of script, but there’s a good chance it could be a sentimental addition. In the past, Zayn has gotten tattoos dedicated to members of his family, from his grandfather's name to Gigi’s eyes. Very recently, a new one cropped up: his daughter’s name in Arabic script in red ink (which Gigi has since matched.) As a new dad and someone who seems to be in a more self-assured chapter in life, we can assume there’s a possibility his new face tattoo commemorates his new stage of life.
